ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study was to review the 19th century text, Samseolgy version “Nocheonyeo-ga”, from the perspective of the disabled, referring to All Bodies are Equal (2012) written by the disabled. The two have a large time gap, but Joseon in the 19th century and Korea in the early 21st century were not much different in that they were non-disabled-oriented societies. The analysis of All bodies are equal was intended to directly listen to the thoughts and feelings of people with disabilities about non-disabled centralism as a standard. As a result of the analysis, Samseolgy version “Nocheonyeo-ga” had a merit that not only old women but also disabled people were the main characters, but it was only a materialistic approach, and Samseolgy version “Nocheonyeo-ga” failed to express the authenticity of disabled people. In other words, non-disabled centralism was permeated throughout the work, and it was seen that non-disabled centralism was strengthened in the ending that the caricature and alienation of the disabled, the prejudice of the non-disabled about the ability of the disabled, and the empathy of the non-disabled. In addition, as long as we live in a non-disabled society, not only non-disabled people but also disabled people can not completely escape from non-disabled centralism.
